William's Story

After graduating and playing around for a few months, I took test to enter the Navy, which I did exceptional on, but having a past FBI record at the age of 13, for finding the Air raid shelter below Lincoln fields in 1970, I wasn't able to join. A commanding officer from the Navy contacted me and with my test scores in hand and went to Philadelphia Supreme court and had my record expunged allowing me into the Navy. Which I did a 6 by 8 years as an Airman located in Moffett Field, California, (COMPACWINGSPAC Tactical Support Center) for 2 years and than traveling to Modesto California, to be stationed at Crows Landing Aux. Landing Field, for the rest of my tour supplying Fire rescue for local civilian towns and military planes practicing touch and go's. We also controlled and worked 5 Bombing ranges in the surrounding mountains for all service branches to use.. Having a top and crypt secret clearances upon discharged I returned home and became a Philadelphia police officer for approximately 9 months and transferred to the Philadelphia Prison department because they were making more money then the police. Believe it or not, I was making less being an police officer than when I was in the US Navy.. Unbelievable for someone who was only working because of the money.

My next girlfriend was a 8 year relationship only to lose her to cancer and the one after her was for 6 years and 3 bouts of cancer before I bury her also. It's funny how things work out . Now I'm retired and even though I'm not filthy rich like I wanted to be out of the starting gate, I'm happy with my life. I have a client list that keeps me busy all year round, have all my little toys and look forward to traveling the fifty states again in a few years. I watch a lot of history and documentaries on my laptop and computers and only watch supposedly true stories made into movies. ( I like looking up the facts to see how close to true it was). I listen to the 60's and 70's stations on the old XM with the classic vinyl channel as a backup. My motto is ( KISS ), Keep it short and sweet. I would like to touch base with some of the old classmates and maybe even to arrange a little gathering after this epidemic. STAY SAFE EVERYONE AND WEAR YOUR MASKS....
